+# Contributor Code of Conduct
+
+As contributors and maintainers of this project, and in the interest of fostering an open
+and welcoming community, we pledge to respect all people who contribute through reporting
+issues, posting feature requests, updating documentation, submitting pull requests or
+patches, and other activities.
+
+We are committed to making participation in this project a harassment-free experience for
+everyone, regardless of level of experience, gender, gender identity and expression,
+sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age,
+religion, or nationality.
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+ * The use of sexualized language or imagery
+ * Personal attacks
+ * Trolling or insulting/derogatory comments
+ * Public or private harassment
+ * Publishing other's private information, such as physical or electronic addresses,
+   without explicit permission
+ * Other unethical or unprofessional conduct
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments,
+commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this
+Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors
+that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+By adopting this Code of Conduct, project maintainers commit themselves to fairly and
+consistently applying these principles to every aspect of managing this project. Project
+maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct may be permanently removed
+from the project team.
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an
+individual is representing the project or its community.
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by
+contacting a project maintainer at [info@rabbitmq.com](mailto:info@rabbitmq.com). All complaints will
+be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and
+appropriate to the circumstances. Maintainers are obligated to maintain confidentiality
+with regard to the reporter of an incident.
+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the
+[Contributor Covenant](http://contributor-covenant.org), version 1.3.0, available at
+[contributor-covenant.org/version/1/3/0/](http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/3/0/)
